JonatanLindstrom: When Sai's game against Touya Meijin is finished (chapter 116) Hikaru comments one of Touya's moves. Could any one please comment the comment? :-)
HolIgor: As I remember, I have to check with the game though, Toya Meijin had a placement tesuji in the left top corner that allowed him to skip connection and thus win the game. But I did not read that out.
JonatanLindstrom: Hikaru is speaking about move #181 (the game is really between Rin Kaiho and Yoda Norimoto, 1997-05-01).
Hikaru says: "If he had placed a stone in the corner over here..." (we can't see where he is pointing) "White is forced to protect"
Where is "here", and what happens next?
Robert Pauli: In the game White kind of protected at , but to me the corner seems save without: enough outside liberties to sqeeze . . . Was
just a big yose?
Vesa: My theory...corrected
Black scores points compared to the game.
